Internet on Vacation

Do you get online while you’re on vacation? Does it just depend where you are? I’m going on a cruise in two weeks, and I can’t afford the premium Internet, but I don’t really need that as I’m not streaming anything. However, on the days I’m at sea, I’d like to be able to get online and check in with people and see what’s going on. The days I’m on shore, I’ll be too busy, and probably won’t have any desire to get online. But since my dad has my stepmom, my sister has her husband and kids, sometimes I think I may end up alone a bit. Not that I won’t try doing things with the kids and everybody else, but I can’t be out and about on the ship as much as them because my energy is always so low. I intend to still go to the shows, but I also don’t sleep much at night and might want to occupy myself. I’ll get the lowest tier of Internet, but I think I’ll only end up with using it for two days, and not wasting my money any other time. Of course, I don’t want to be on it much, because I don’t wanna miss any of the fun. I’m looking forward to it too much to waste too much time getting online. The cruise will be 8 days.

don't they have a free wi-fi on the cruise?

@LooeyVille @raski Yes, it costs $20 a day for me on this cruise. That’s where survey money comes in handy.

No, nothing is free on a cruise. Wi-Fi is very expensive ranging from $17-$25 per day.

Honestly, in your case I would probably find a way to splurge on the internet access for the cruise. I know how you struggle with your health problems, if you end up sitting or resting for some time it will give you some joy. If you can possibly swing it, I hope you can.

You understand! I just don’t wanna sit around twiddling my thumbs if I have to be by myself when I don’t feel good or something. And it does bring me joy to occupy my time with something I like, like Mylot.

@AmbiePam I really hope you can get it...I know it would help fill time if you have to sit a lot.

If I am away I will get online if it is convenient, and I am not doing anything else..otherwise no.

Unless the cruise line that you’re Going on is different, you have to pay for the whole cruise at whatever the daily per day Internet rate is you can’t pick and choose just one or two days.

No. I generally am not gone more than a long weekend. I might bring pen and paper but not a computer.
